We're committed to helping the consumer find what they want, so relevance is a very important consideration for 13 FIND results. In some cases, the 13 FIND algorithm may determine that other businesses are more relevant. However, when an advertised listing and a free listing are equally relevant (e.g. both are electricians in the same suburb), then the advertised electrician will appear above the free listing.

Please note that when 13 FIND has more than one advertised business in the same location, the order in which they appear is randomly rotated using our "Fair Go" principle, to ensure that all advertised businesses receive equal treatment over time.

You are able to specify the postcodes that your business services, or to specify a radius around specific suburbs. However, you do need to think carefully before selecting this option for your business. If you are a fixed location business (e.g. retail store, or restaurant), and your customers always (or mostly) come to your premises, then we advise that you don't select specific suburbs (13 FIND will automatically deliver you leads within or near your catchment area). As an advertiser on 13 FIND, your business receives priority over businesses that are not advertisers, so (all other considerations being equal), your business will come ahead of them in search results.

If you are a business that supplies a service at your customers' location (home or business), then you could consider specifying which suburbs you wish to serve, so that 13 FIND only delivers you leads when these specific suburbs (or those within your specified radius) are requested. You should remember that 13 FIND is a Pay Per Lead service, so you should only specify those areas that you are genuinely committed to serving, otherwise you'll be paying for leads that you don't want!

When you select a credit bundle with 13 FIND, your account is credited with the relevant amount. Every time a lead is generated for your business, your account is debited by the amount that relates to the specific type of lead that was generated – the exact amount depends on which categories your business is linked to. See above for details on the amounts charged for each lead. For example, if your business appears in website search results, and is clicked for contact details, that is a billable event. If someone calls your business after being given the phone number by 13 FIND, that is another billable event.

Each billable event results in your account being debited by the relevant amount. You can track how many leads (billable events) have been delivered by 13 FIND by logging on to 13find.com.au and visiting the online advertiser centre. Each lead will be detailed against your account, and the amount your account was charged for each lead. You will also see the remaining credit balance in your account, and be able to top up your account online.

Advertising with 13 FIND costs as little as $300, for an entry level credit bundle. There are also larger credit bundles available, which offer bonus credits, as per the table below.

Once you pay for your credit bundle, your account is credited with the value of that credit bundle, plus any eligible bonus credits. As your listed business(es) receives leads, your account is debited with the relevant cost for each type of lead. Pay-Per-Lead is explained below. You are able to track how many leads you receive, and track your account balance on the My Businesses page, whenever you log in to your account.

When your credit balance reaches 50% and 20% of the credit bundle amount, you will receive automated emails suggesting that you top up your account, which you can do online using a credit card.

Each lead will be detailed against your account, and the amount your account was charged for each lead. You will also see the remaining credit balance in your account, and be able to top up your account online.

Bonus credits are your reward for committing to spending more with 13 FIND. The larger the credit bundle you choose, the more bonus credits you receive. Bonus credits are effectively additional dollars that are credited to your account, which means you receive more leads that you would without the bonus credits, and your average cost per lead comes down!
